I'm not sure if this can even be proven, despite some sources claiming to disprove it.
Sure nobody was like "For Judy!!!!" *punch*
But it makes total sense that the emotions surrounding her funeral inspired gays to fight back that day.
Do YOU believe Judy Garland's death was the impetus for resistance at Stonewall?

OP, you get bonus points for an original and compelling thread idea, but the most thoughtful posters on this topic are, I fear, dead.

Doesn't matter, OP. It's become a part of the mythology and is very fitting.

Marsha was a HUGE Garland fan. She threw the first brick at the Hollywood premiere of A Star is Born. Had she been alive, Marsha would been asked to throw the first gold brick at the premiere of Oz.

Judy's spirit materialized, threw the first brick, and asked for a drink.

I think it sounds somewhat implausible, but who knows. Today’s young gays can be pretty unhinged when it comes to the vapid divas they worship, so …maybe.
